What happens when thousands of Abbotsford residents experience practical acts of kindness?

On June 7, 2003, Abbotsford once again experienced an explosion of kindness.

Everything from face-painting for kids to free cans of pop, landscaping services and baked goodies was used to saturate the community in practical acts of kindness. "How much does it cost?" was one of the common responses when surprised residents were offered a service on that Saturday. The answer, of course, is that it's absolutely free! No fine print, no signing on the dotted line, it's just something local Christians want to do for their community.

"Why are you doing this?" was another question from those touched by the projects. "Having been given the extravagant gift of God's great love," explains one participant, "what else could I do but pass it on?! I want to share Jesus' generosity, his self-sacrificing love, with everyone I meet."

The desire of those involved in Love Abbotsford is that this down-to-earth demonstration of God's love will become a way of living. A smile and an unexpected act of kindness will not only make your day, it could change your life!
